ALASkA's At MOSPhERE.

A Country Whore the Air Il Literally
Burdensd with Moisture.
Lieutenant Schwatka. in making the
inland passage to Alaska, at one point
went ashore. among tie wilds Of the
Alexander Archipelago. and he de-
scribes the vegetation which he en-
countered as being most rank and
luxuriant. At the feet Of the ever
greens clothing the land, grew =
dense mass of tangled bushes and
vines, and the roots Of these was q
solid carpeting Of MOSES, lichens and
ferns. which often ran up tho trees to
q hight greater than a mans reach.
All this dense growth is rs moist as o
sponge. The thick carpeting OF moss
extends from the shore to the edges Of
the glaciers on the mountain SUBMITS,
and the constant melting of ice through
the warm summer keeps it saturated
with water. The air is burdened with
moisture. and every thing is, like Mr..
Mantalini's proposed body. ''moist and
unpleasant
1t is almost impossible to realize the
dampness Of this region. without hav.
ing experienced it. Water drips from
overhead. like an April mist and
oozes up beneath tho feet As one

ance Of the vegetation. take the In.
dams ''totem- poles" which. although
they are dead timbers standing on end
near the native houses, bear huge
clumps Of dripping moss and foliage
at heights varying from ten to thirty
feet from the ground. 1t will be well
to explain in passing, that these totem.
poles are covered with very curious
carvings, and although no one is at oil
sure Of their significance, it is probable
that they represent genealogies or tri.
bal histories Of the Indians.
1t often happens that the seed Of .
Sitka spruce becomes lodged in the tan.
gle of moss resting upon . totem pole,
and there terminates. Its roots crawl
down the pole, and, having reached the
earth, find additional sustenance there,
which they send to the branches -four.
ishing above and which have thus far
been nourished by the juices furnished
by the moss.
Imagine city boy tossing walnut
from his window. SO that it lodges upon
. telegraph-pole, sprouts there. sende
down it roots to the earth. and wakes
into such a tall tree that the boy can
lean from his window, and pick wal.
nuts from it every autumn! That ides
ID incredible. and yet its equivalen,
often happens in Southeastern Alaska.

AGRICULTURE AND POLITICS.

~ The policy of the legislative depart
ments Of government, State and
National, is shaped aFd controlled by
politicians and patty manipulators,
and often in uttsf disregard Of the
rights of the farpders, if not in direct
antagonism t9 their interests. To
correct this great wrong, the farmers
themselves must put their own hands
to it., and to do this effectually they
must organize. Now don't throw up
your hands in holy horror and askif we
advise bringing politics into u farm
-ers' organizations No we answer
no, and most emphatically, but we do
advise taking your agricultural doc
trines and such questions as are of
vital concern to your interests as
farmers into politics. Take these ques-
tons into your nominating onven
lions, have them put into your politi-
cal platforms and see to it that your
candidates shall stand strictly and
~squarely upon them. In this way,
and only in this way, will the farmers
of this country ever secure such legis-
lative protection and just recognition
as they deserve. Let those who as
sumo to lead public thought and to
shape public. sentiment, understand
that the great industry of agriculture
must have fair showing in all those
departments of government which in
any name affect it's interests.
Unjust and oppressive discrimina-
tions against their interests are arous-
ing the farmers all over the land to a
correct appreciation of the situation.
Even that cautions conservatism on
matters political, which has ever dis
tinguished the grange, is forced to
show a rebellious spirit, under the
pressure. And it is a most hopeful
augury for the prosperity of the future.
No, let us not bring politics into agri-
culture, but let us take agriculture
into politics.

SOME SOUTH CAROLINA TALK

We make the following extract
from the Annual Address of Hon. j. N.
Lipscomb, Master of the State
Grange of S. c., at it's regular session
In Columbia on the End of February

Up and to your work! What is it,
and how is it to be done? [ answer

must be done to meet the requirements
Of the situation now existing and
afford the needed relief 2? [ answer
there must be organization that can,
and will, in the shortest time, enlist on
their rolls the great bulk, or at least
a heavy majority of the agricultural
and industrial classes Of the entire

Why? Because reading and study
have conclusively convinced me that
no man, or set of men, with but hui
